Alternate Versions
Three minutes and 22.5 seconds were cut for the UK video versions, with a downgrade to a 15 certificate. Among the cuts were edits to swearing, assorted footage of punches and closeups of wounds, knife scenes, neck breaks, bloody bullet impacts and more, along with heavy cuts to the climactic scene of a train crashing into a car.
